Another Amazing Giveaway

With all the giveaways that have been happening on The Daily Trumpet lately, you must be thinking to yourself, "Are Angie and Wendy attempting to BUY my affection?" The answer to that question is YES, and we're not ashamed to admit it. Will you be our friend? We'll give you stuff!

Another reason for all the great giveaways is our recent return from CHA, where we met with lots of cool people who are eager to spread the word about their products, services, and classes. People like Renee Pearson of reneepearson.com ("Digital training for crafters and artists"), who would like to give one of you a FREE spot in an upcoming class!

Scrapbook more and faster than ever before when you know just where every holiday snapshot, vintage family photo and piece of digital paper is located.

Take it from me. I've known Molly Newman for years, and not only is she incredibly smart, creative, and talented, she's also one of the wittiest people I know. Get ready to learn AND to laugh! Learn more about Molly's class by clicking here.

HA, "roughly" I have 13,917 images - before I add what's on my camera right now. That's 7 years of digital photography plus some scans of older photos.

For the last year, we have been out every weekend exploring our new area (and beyond). Typically, there are 400 to 500 pictures on average taken and loaded. Then there are previous years......
As of last week almost 9,000. As of last night, 600. I finally moved everything over to an external hard drive. And my computer is happy now. :)
I have at least 4000 - found on the computer as well as my externals.... I would love to learn how to keep track of them! Thanks for the opportunity.

I've been eyeing that class by Molly Newman. I have 7,528 on an external hard drive. 99% which are of my kids :-)

I have about 2000 on my computer. A small amount compared to most of the others!

I have over 5000. I finally wised up and bought an external hard drive. I can handle losing anything, but my photos.
I have 6,147 digi scrapbooking files and 16,668 digi photos on my external hardrive. Oh yeah, and another 554 photos on my computer needing to be transferred (those are just from this year so far--and I feel like I've been slacking with my camera lately!). Oh, boy do I need this class!!
Over 8000!! on the external hard drive. More on CD's sitting in the kitchen. Oh my do I need this class!
I have 10271 photos on my computer and then lots in my Husband's as well. I sure do need this class. Thanks for organizing it.
Well, let's see...I think there are about 10,000 photos on my more dead desktop downstairs. People have said they can be saved and boy I hope so! Yes, I do realize that they probably led to the demise of my dearly departed.... And then there are about 1,000 on this laptop that I use for work and about 3,000 on my husband's laptop. I guess my thinking is that if I split them up, the laptops will have longer lives??? My husband keeps telling me to delete some of them before I put them on the computer, but I can't seem to part with them...is that hoarding??? I do have a goal of getting them all on DVD, but who has the time???
Way too many...over 10,000 on an external harddrive... I could so use this class!!

I have 5000 which I thought was an awful lot until I read all of your comments! I'm feeling better now!
Kim :)
I have 14,427 digi scrap files and 2500+/- photos and scans from the last 4 months. Way too many! I've been purging my paper scrapping stuff, and I need to purge my digi stuff.

I actually know this because we just got a new computer and transferred the photos: over 8,000. Yikes.

iPhoto tells me we have 16,762 photos!! Wow, never realized how many we had. I'm becoming better at deleting unnecessary photos which will help in the future. :-)
39,826 See I really need this class, LOL Seriously though, this class is going to be so awesome!
I have 22,983 pictures on my external hard drive. I hope that counts! I ran out of room on my computer.
just on my very new laptop, I have 3,000 and that's just for nov, dec and jan. On my external hard drive, probably close to 10,000. Class looks great. Thanks!
I have about 10,000 on my computer and I need to do an updated backup again at the end of the month so thanks for reminding me through this entry - lol!
about 8,000 very badly organised photos, but they have been backup 1,2 3 times just to be sure however it sure takes a long time to find the one I want.
I have approximately 1500 photo on my computer right now. I was patting myself on the back because I spent the last two days backing the rest of them on CD (and deleting them from the computer). It makes me realize I must have had at least 10 times that amount on there before I started "cleaning up". Yikes!!
I have 11,990 photos on my computer. Isn't that scary? And the worst part is all of the time I spend searching for the one that I remember and can't find.
I have over 5,000 and just backed them all up. I so need this class!
eek! I have about 63K digital photos on my hard drive! At least they are somewhat organized (by year and month) but not completely. I really need to delete the "bad" ones but that's a major project. I so need this class! I have tons of digital stuff I've downloaded and most if it is still sitting in zip files in my download folder :( Thanks for the chance at a freebie! :)

I have roughly 7,510 photos on my computer. There will be more once I finish a big scanning job and I also have some photos to upload from my camera--probably about 200 or so.
I have 15,716 photos on my computer. I would love to get them organized better for easy access.

I am using ACDSee for my digital supplies and I love it. I do not keep it as up to date as I need to though and some tips from other users would be great!
I have 300 something files with a number of pictures varying from 1 to over 100. I let you do the math! ;-)
